#AltorCorp

During our SHOT Show 2020 coverage we had the chance to get hands on with Altor Corp’s single shot 9x19mm pistol. Altor claim it to be the simplest 9mm on the market and they’re probably right!

Comprising of just 6 parts it is quite possibly the simplest gun at SHOT 2020. It sidesteps convention by having now trigger or trigger guard, rudimentary sights and a profile which is almost sci-fi in shape. Comprising of a molded polymer grip and receiver, a stainless steel 2in barrel (which has micro groove rifling) and a simple firing mechanism – which is not unlike those seen in some modern snap release crossbows. With inevitable comparisons to clandestine weapons like the famous WWII Liberator pistols and the later CIA Dear guns it would be interesting to see if Altor Corp’s pistol could be suppressed.
